Downloaded Tweakui from
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
Installed then during uninstall from Control Panel, Norton Antivirus
reported Malicious Script in file
C:\Documents and Settings\Roger
Smith\res:\C:\WINDOWS\System32\TweakUI.exe\uninstall.hta.
Uninstalled with AddRemove 4Good.

TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe scans OK for no viruses. What's happening?
 
It is nothing to worry about; there's nothing malicious in TweakUI.
Apparently Norton is just warning you about it because some hta scripts can
be malicious, though in this case it was not.
